So in a nut shell, I suffer from CBT abandonment schema, CBT subjugation schema and I struggle with not being assertive. At least now I know what to work on. I am not crippled by these schema's but I need to improve myself in these areas.

Now you see me warts and all


Assertiveness Mu is a lot of technique, learn that and it becomes habit. That's one of my biggies too.

The other two in my view are more deep rooted and I think you are aware of the origins.

If I have any help you would like please let me know
